Just when I thought Gen 8 and 9 couldn’t set the bar any lower, Gen 10 comes and erodes what little faith I had in the franchise.>birdthe obvious unpopular/contrarian ugly pokemon that will evolve into a quirky cartoon character>dogtextbook example of an industry plant destined to be endlessly shilled with merch and a broken hidden abilitywill also evolve into a bara fursona like Okidogi and Incineroar>lizardseriously, did they even fucking try? the design is the complete antithesis of pokemon designs, it looks like it was taken out of some Wii or DS shovelware pet gameeyelashes alone proves it’ll be a waifumon to appease the memes and porn coomers
>>58981470You're kidding right? There's no way you think Gen 5 or Gen 8 have better starters than Gen 10.
>>58981470I swear I hear these exact same words used so often that I've come to believe you trained an AI to be a shitposter here
>>58981494At this point, people are conditioned to bitch no matter what.
I like the owl more when I realized the beak and eyebrows are a sprout
>>58981476Blaziken was the premonition of this travesty, Gen 4 (except Torterra) was what started the trends of starters becoming cartoon characters rather than pocket monsters.Far as I’m concerned, every starter in Gen 4 (except Torterra) and onwards are not real starters, and not real Pokemon either, they’re all reject mascots. The coomer appeal started with Gen 6 and got especially awful in Gen 9. Rillaboom couldn’t even be just a gorilla, and Skeledirge wasn’t allowed to be a cool ghost fire croc without being assigned a job and becoming a fucking singer.
>>58981470You know what I like about this thing? It's just a dog. That's it. They literally took my mom's dog and made it cartoony.
>>58981526what about serperior?
>>58981597It’s subtler than most nu-starters, but it’s still a cartoon character.
>>58981583literally a dog that will become literally become Tony the Tiger but with a dog head
>>58981470So close, OPWe need that Littlest PetShop newt for the water mon
>>58981476>Gen 5Oshawott and Snivy are great faggot
>>58981470Still better than the Gen 2 starters
>>58981838I agree Snivy is great, Oshawott looks like shit though. Samurott saves the entire line.
>>58981476Smugleaf was cool, he was going to become Grass/Dragonbeta bw headcanon was better than what we got
>>58981838Cartoon characters aren’t great
>>58981470Fix'd OP
